The  images  jppearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  ^»-  (meaning  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

l\Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

The  Empires  uniform  action— the  same  way  at  every  milkina-is

It  places  the  Empire  Milking  Machine    already  the  unquestioned 
leader-  immeasurably  in  advance  of  all  competition .        "^'"^^^'^'"^^ 

A  moment  ago  we  said  that   the  acti(in  of  the  Suner-Simnle 
Pulsator  ,s  as  regular  as  that  of  the  cows  heart.     Well    that" s    rue 
and  that  s  much  more  impt^rtant  than  it  seems  at  first  glance. ' 

Think  of  it  this  way:    As  you  know,  the  cow  makes  mc^st  of  her 
milk  xvhile  sheis  being  milked.     Her  heart  pumps  bla)d  to  her  udder 
and  there  .t  .s  converted  into  milk.     The  blood  comes  in  regular 
spurts-averaging  between  48  and  52  of  them  per  minute. 

With  perfect  regularity  the  Empire  Milking  Machine  takes  that 
milk  just  as  the  cow  rnakes  it-the  Empire  sucks  between  48  and  .2 
.rnes  per  mmute.  and  massages  the  teat  an  equal  number  of  t"mes 
thus  a.dmg  the  cows  heart   to  keep  the  blood  in  circulatTon 

Once  set.  it  will  never  change  speed.  It  will  always  operate  in 
perfect  sympathy  with  the  cows  nervous  system. 

You  see  that  is  one  reason  why  the  cows  take  to  Empire  Milking 
Machines-that  is  why  they  usually  increase  their  vield  of  milk- 
because  the  Empire  handles  them  gently  and  uniformly  and  in

The  Super-Simple  Pulsator 
causes  the  action  of  the  Empire 
teat  cup  inflation.  It  lets  first 
vacuum  and  then  plain  air  into  the 
space  between  the  metal  teat  cup 
shell  and  the  rubber  teat  cup  infla- 
tion. The  illustrationson  page  fne 
show  how  it  works,    isn't  it  simple. 

When  air  is  let  in  between  the 
shell  and  the  inflation  the  inflation 
collapses,  cutting  off  the  vacuum 
below    the    teat   and  gentlv  ma- 
,  ,  nipulating  the  teat.      Then" when 

the  vacuum  is  let  in,  the  inflation  snaps  back,  away  from  the  teat 
and  allows  the  milk  to  be  sucked  into  the  airtight  milker  pail. 

The  stable  air  never  touches  the  milk  It"s  just  as  clean  when  it 
reaches  the  pail  as  when  nature  made  it. 

In  attaching  Empire  teat  cups  you  w  t  have  to  tie  them  to  the 
cow  by  an  awkward  strap  arrangement  to  V  ep  them  from  falling  off 
or  being  kicked  off. 

Empire  teat  cups  stay  on  the  teats  without  tying.  They  do  their 
work  too  well  to  fall  off,  and  the  cow  likes  them  too  well  to  kick  them  off. 

The  manufacturers  whose  teat  cups  have  to  be  tied  to  the  cows 
refer  to  their  tie  straps  as  "surcingles"  in  an  effort  to  establish  the  idea 
that  the  cumbersome  straps  serve  the  same  good  purpose  on  hard 
milking  cows  that  the  well  known  surcingle  serves. 

This   of  course,  is  laughable,  for  they  have  to  tie  their  so-called 

surcingle   to  every  cow  while,  as  you  know,  it  is  very  seldom  necessary 

to  use  a  real  surcingle  on  a  cow;   and  in  most  cases  the  cow  that 

requires  the  use  of  a  surcingle  to  control  her  is  such  a  poor  milker  that 

she  s  not  worth  keeping  in  the  herd.

Ease  of  Operation 


pMPIRE  Milking  Machines  are  made  in  single  units  (for  milking 
^  one  cow  at  a  time  see  the  illustration  on  page  seven),  or  in 
double  units  (for  milking  two  cows  at  a  time— see  the  illustration  on 
pap,e  six).     You  may  take  your  choice. 

We  often  ad\  isc  dairymen  to  use  double  units  because  they  do  the 
milking  just  twice  as  fast  as  single  units.  Some  manufacturers,  who 
are  unable  to  make  double  units,  say  that  single  units  are  the  only 
practical  ones.  Just  ask  them  why  the  majority  of  the  most  success- 
ful dairymen  m  the  country  use  Empire  double  units.  That  question 
should  be  hard  for  them  to  answer. 

But,  whether  you  prefer  single  or  double  units- -you  can  have 
your  choice  when  you  buy  the  Empire. 

And,  anyhow,  Empire  double  units  can  be  used  as  single  units-  to 
milk  one  cow  at  a  time  as  easily  as  they  can  be  used  on  two  cows  at 
once.  Whenever  you  want  to  make  an  individual  test  en  every  cow 
in  your  herd,  you  can  simply  use  your  Empire  double  units  as  single 
units.  And  yet,  at  other  times  youll  have  all  the  advantages  of 
double  unit  milkers.  ^ 

It  is  easy  to  operate  an  Empire  Milking  Machine. 

The  simple,  efficient  Empire  Vacuum  Pump,  illustrated  on  page 
thirteen,  is  belted  to  your  engine  or  motor. 

When  the  engine  or  motor  is  started,  the  air  is  drawn  out  of  the 
vacuum  tank  (shown  on  the  same  page  with  the  pump)  J  the  outfit 
is  ready  for  operation. 

There  are  no  complicnted 
preparations-no  heavy  ma- 
chinery to  move  from  cow  to 
cowon  a  truck-  no  pulsators  to 
carry  from  place  to  place  and  at- 
tach before  the  milking  starts.  The  iwau.,  g.u„-  w  -i^^:,,;^.:

^ou  can  buy  inferior  milking  machines  for  less  money  than  the 
Empire  cwsts.     But  hrst  cost  is  of  little  imf^irtance

Dear  Sirs; — 

I  feci  it  my  duty  to  drop  you  just  a  line  to  let  you  know  how  fine  the  milker  is  working. 

Have  never  had  the  first  thinn  go  wrong.  Ihe  pump  runs  fine  and  have  not  even  lightened  the  htlt  again  since 
yourmanleft.  The  cows  havcincreased  iSquarts.  andGeorge  isproudorhisjub.  We  have  gained  lo  amperes  more 
than  keeping  us  in  lights,  and  only  charge  while  milking. 

Thanks  for  you  good  work  here.

"Sanitary  Beyond  Question"

Dear  Sirs: — 

After  a  good  many  visits,  and  an  equal  number  of  interesting  sessions,  your  salesman  succeeded  in  selling  me  an 
Empire  Mechanical  Milker  and  Engine.  I  had  been  obses.sed  with  the  common  fear  of  Mechanical  Milkers  and  had 
held  out  auite  obstinately. 

Now  tnat  I  have  it,  I  find  it  all  you  claim  for  it,  doing  its  work  in  a  comfortable,  safe  .:nd  satisfactory  manner 

It  is  simple,  easy  to  operate  and  care  for,  and  sanitary  beyond  question.  The  co\»  ^  take  to  it  kindly,  appar- 
ently indifferent  to  its  operation,  except  in-s<>far  as  absolute  comfort  is  depicted  m  their  conlcnled  manner 

I  regard  it  as  a  useful  and  meritorious  invention,  which  should  be  in  more  general  use,  and  cheerfully  and  heartily 
recommend  it  to  my  fellow  Dairymen.     Would  not  want  to  be  without  it. 

Very  truly  yours,

Sirs: — 

Have  used  a  two  double  unit  Empire  Mechanical  Milker  for  eighteen  months  and  am  highly  pleased  with  the  outfit 
l.?""!?  *  about  15  cows  and  a  boy  eleven  years  old  operates  the  machine  and  milks  the  whole  herd  in  40  minutes 
Would  go  out  of  the  dairy  business  if  I  had  to  be  without  an  Empire  Milker,

More  Milk — No  Expense 

Empire  Separator  Comiuny, 
Bloomfield,  N   J. 
Dear  Sirs: — 

I  would  like  to  state  to  you  that  I  have  had  my  milker  almost  one  year  and  so  far  it  has  cost  for  repairs  bg  cents 
Our  engine  was  out  of  order  and  I  had  to  milk  bv  hand,  and  twenty-five  cows  gave  40  qts  of  milk  less  each  milking 
by  hand-milking  The  milk  strainer  was  stopped  up  from  hair  and  dirt,  and  all  together  I  would  not  go  back  to 
hand-milking— I  would  sell  my  cows.  One  man  does  the  milking  and  cares  for  50  head  and  carries  the  milk  he  is  one 
hour  and  twenty  minutes  milking.

Meets  War  Problems 

Empire  Cream  Separator  Co.. 
Bloomfield,  N.J. 
Dear  Sirs: — 

The  Empire  Milker  has  met  the  exigencies  of  war  in  our  case.  Three  out  of  five  of  our  men  have  volunteered  or 
been  called  to  the  colors.     Experienced  dairymen  or  competent  farm  hands  are  hard  to  find 

We  are  pinched  for  help  in  the  dairy  barn  and  on  the  farm,  we  just  had  to  have  a  machine  or  quit  business  but  on 
mechanical  milkers  we  were  at  sea,  as  there  are  no  milking  machines  in  this  locality.  We  got  busy  and  wrote  to'eight  or 
ten  dairymen  in  New  York,  Massachusetts,  and  Wisconsin  for  information  Wegotit.  Boiled  down  the  Empire  led 
by  a  good  majority.  ""^ 

We  took  advice, 
did .     Now  we  can't 


J  ■ 

e      One  man  is  now  doing  the  work  in  the  dairy  barn  that  he  and  the  young  man  in  France  formerly 
1 1  do  without  it — it  is  a  necessitv 
Onemandoestheworkof  two  and  we  believe  two  could  do  the  work  of  five.     The  cows  like  it       It  has  a  soft  and

singly  and  alone,  perhaps  each  one  does  not  amount  to  very  much. 
But  taken  collectively,  the  stones  form  a  colossal  structure  so 
impressive  as  to  have  swayed  public  opinion  to  Empire  Milkers  in  a 
flood  that  cannot  be  stemmed.  For  the  Empire  is  admitted  to  be  the 
successful  milking  machine;  the  leader  of  all. 

Empire  Milker  users  have  published  our  integrity,  they  have  told 
their  friends  about  Empire  quality  and  honesty  and  fair  treatment. 
They  know  that  we  do  not  boast  of  impossible  feats;  that  we  do  not 
make  impossible  promises;  that  we  are  modest  in  our  claims;  and 
that  we  more  than  fulfill  any  promises  we  make. 

We  don't  want  you  to  take  our  word  for  these  things.  We'd 
much  prefer  to  have  you  ask  any  Empire  Milker  user,  anywhere. 

The  Empire  Cream  Separator  Company  was  organized  nearly  30 
years  ago;  it  is  a  strong,  substantial  organization  with  branch  ofifices, 
warehouses  and  dealers  located  all  over  the  continent.  Every  branch 
is  organized  to  give  instant  service  to  Empire  users — no  delays — no 
disappointments — just  the  quickest  and  most  courteous  attention  we 
know  how  to  give. 

The  goodness  of  the  machine  you  buy  amounts  to  little  if  its 
quality  is  not  backed  up  by  a  fair,  honest  and  substantial  manu- 
facturer who  is  always  ready  to  see  that  you  get  the  service  and 
satisfaction  that  you  have  a  right  to  demand,  and  that  you  continue  to 
get  that  service  and  satisfaction,  day  in  and  day  out — no  matter 
what  happens. 

Users  of  Empire  Milking  Machines  are  guaranteed  that  sort  of 
service.  The  Empire  Cream  Separator  Company  is  in  business  for  no 
other  purpose  than  to  give  its  customers  perfect  satisfaction;  for  we 
realize  that  satisfied  customers  have  built  our  great  business  to  its 
present  size. 

A  moment  ago  we  said  that  we  never  boast  of  impossible  things. 
Here  is  one  thing  of  which  we  do  boast: 

There  isn't  a  better  milking  machine  in  the  world  than  the 
Empire  Milking  Machine;  and  when  better  milking  machines  are 
made  they  will  bear  th'  Jlmpire  Trade  Mark. 

And  our  promise  to  you  is  this:  After  you've  bought  your 
Empire  Milker  Outfit  you'll  never  regret  it;  for  you'll  get  a  dime's 
worth  of  satisfaction  for  every  penny  you  invest. 

The  Empire  guarantee  stands  ready  to  make  good  that  promise, 
and  every  member  of  the  Empire  Organization  stands  back  of  the 
Empire  guarantee.
